Kawasaki has added a new SE version of its Z H2 super-naked for 2021. As with other Kawasaki SE variants, the Z H2 SE features Showa’s Skyhook adaptive suspension.

The Skyhook system automatically and electronically adjusts by the millisecond to bumps and undulations on the road keeping everything level. It also takes braking into account to manage fork dive under deceleration forces.

Along with the new suspension, the Z H2 SE also gets uprated LED lights all round and a new TFT dash with Bluetooth integration as also seen on the new ZX-10R and ZX-10RR.

The SE also gets its own paint job with plenty of extra splashes of Kawasaki green to differentiate it from the standard model.

The Z H2 SE will arrive in the UK in March, costing £18,349, or £2450 more than the base bike.
